Falcon or Fiction: The Story of the Balloon Boy- Replay

Happy Thanksgiving week (or canned cranberry sauce to those who celebrate)! This week we are re-playing a Criminality favorite. It's part Macy's Day Parade, part #Balloonboytruther. The truth is out there.

Welcome to our 21st Episode - yay! Today we will set sail to Colorado where Melissa will share the incredible story of the Heene Family. Perhaps you remember them from Wife Swap? Me either. Perhaps BALLOON BOY jogs your memory? Yep. That’s right. Melissa makes a compelling case and comes down DEFINITIVELY on whether or not this was a publicity hoax. You have to listen and make up your own mind - Rebekah was on the edge of her seat complete with gasps along the ride. This episode also has super fun clips that are even more fun when you WATCH on YouTube!

For next episode, Rebekah shared 3 clues:

ROBBERY, DELI MEAT, FAMILY!
